Livability is very expensive, work does not pay much, not too much community engagement
An age-friendly world enables people of all ages to actively participate in community activities and treats everyone with respect, regardless of their age. It is a place that makes it easy for older people to stay connected to people that are important to them. you know as you age comes the fear of illness or strokes and will I be able to walk to the store for food and so on....Unfriendly maybe Noise and traffic and no busess line.
I just moved into the state recently, and currently looking for more opportunities and positions
It's a friendly community I live in
Transportation, is very good lots of activities
Giving caregiving for parents the same weight as caring for children. Which Include caregiving for parents in any language outlining family leave policies. Offer the same flexibility you give to parents of small children.
Kendall has everything at a hand, there a lot of opportunities to work, transportation and people is veey nice
Transportation is a great example, seniors receive extra care and while children pay low wage.
